Dude is even color-coordinating his OUTFITS to the car he drives.

Darren Rovell just tweeted that the spent 5% of his after tax earnings on cars last year. That's NOTHING. No idea about his spending habits in general, but he's not going to go broke on on cars if it's 5%.

How many people make $50k and drive $25k cars? How many make $100k and drive $5k cars?

Cespedes is my favorite Mets player because how well he can kick the ball. And his cars are cool.

Does he live in Florida? How does he have all of his cars with him during spring training?

Sportsnation broke down the math last week and it amounts to less than 5 percent of his salary or something.

This is somewhat complicated shit, so try to stick with me here: cars have wheels and can be moved from one place to another with relatively minimal effort.

I think we should all take a few moments to bow our heads and thank the Dear Lord for Sportsnation.

Where do players stay during spring training?

I like how he introduces neon green as an alternate color for every team he plays on each season.

You're really worried about this.

I've no idea where he keeps his cars, but I'm guessing that at the very least, there's no shortage of hotels that would be more than happy to have one parked out front with their valet watching it like a hawk, just to have a car like that drawing attention to the hotel.

It goes past that. I've literally been thinking all night about where Yvonne's cues spiders parks his cars during spring training.

Maybe he parked the jeep behind the Burger King?
